As computers take on more and more automated tasks, they seem to spend more time fully powered on. In many cases PCs are left running 24 hours a day just to execute some tasks the computer may do during non-working hours.
For example, a disk utility may be set to defrag the hard disk during the middle of the night, or as we move into the era of the digital home, a computer may be left running so that the PVR software can record the user’s favorite TV show.
Allowing a computer to go into standby or hibernation and then waking it as needed is a much smarter option. Certainly there are tasks that require the computer to be always on, but for other tasks there is often a better method. Shut Down Expert is designed to resolve these problems of your computer.
